Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaguyo blinked in disbelief. "Flattery won't get you anywhere, Aoki-san." she growled, lunging at him again. She was completely in the fighting zone now, lunging and unleashing a mad assortment of hits, kicks, headbutts, wind-throws, you name it, she either did it or attempted to.
No way in hell any of them thought that. She had been an aid to the Rebellion...
.....She had turned against Aled....
...... in fact, once she and Su-kun were taken out, the rebellion was quickly crushed. If they would have remained active, the overthrow would have been inevitable.
Maybe he was right.
"So what..." she spoke after a long silence, starting to sweat and catch her breath, "You guys wanted to manipulate me then? Use that influence to your advantage? What? Are you really trying to make me hate you?" she asked, before pushing herself off the ground and landing another firm punch in the stomach.
Granted, he didn't seem THAT winded---no pun intended---but it was definitely something. She was no little girl.
She proceeded by kneeing him in the groin, or at least trying. "Because of you, I'm a ghost!" she shouted angrily, driving her elbow into his shoulder. "I can't trust ANYONE!"
And that was the simple truth of things. She kicked off him, landing a while back, pausing to catch her breath. She slowly straightened up, moving to get a glass of water, making a few icecubes in the center. "Even if it was the truth, that doesn't make it right."

"Gods know I've wanted it long enough." Kaguyo spoke quietly. "So I've just slaughtered 11 of you out of sheer spite. Hmn. Might want to bring them back." she mused quietly. "Was anyone still loyal to Aled? Knowing this, what do I do now, hmm?" she turned to face him, leaning against the wall.
She looked exhausted. She'd been training for hours upon hours at this point. "At least tell me I killed anyone who would've been opposed to it."

But Garren wasn't where he had been attacking originally.
He was an illusionist just as Fir was.
With a quick motion, he sent a wave of fireballs to carpet where Ainsu was standing, the flames bursting into a pillar once they hit.
"ARASHI! NOW!" he shouted, following the attack by electricity.

Kaguyo frowned. "Thankfully." she agreed quietly. "And yes, I've noticed. I've spent the last ten years trying to balance that out." she muttered. "No help from any of you. But if he's moodswinging like this, and I have this influence or whatever you're trying to imply, shouldn't I be going out there to try and soothe the populace?"

Garren smirked, coming in on Ainsu's other side.
Immediately, the sword wasn't at his throat...
But Morrigan's. Ainsu was more focused on protecting her after all.
"Surrender, or she dies." he spoke bluntly. "Get up."

"The fact they're rioting over my slaughtering a few people." Kaguyo muttered. "Then again... maybe that's a good thing."
She started for the door immediately, eager. "Now might be my chance to debut as Queen. What do you think? Should I seize power now? Then again...Aled..." she frowned. "What if I just kill him once and for a--no, Kazuhiko needs his teleporting ability back, out of the question. Hm..."

Garren smirked. "Well the longer you lean over her, the more likely it is she's going to die. She needs medical treatment. She's not immune to iron. Most fae aren't." he glanced over at where Kazuhiko was convulsing. "Then again, that child doesn't seem to have it either... Pity. Wonder what I should do with him?" he left Ainsu to Arashi, starting to walk towards him.
Kazuhiko was open prey. It was amazing that with Morrigan and Kazuhiko in such terrible states that Po-ar would have sensed something....

"Are you really prepared to kill Aled for good?" Aoki asked. "He's been Ou since before many of us can even remember, Kaguyo. To many people, he is still a hero for saving Tarnbsei from Freezer's destruction."

Itachi glared at Kitaria, but her next statement was directed to Po-ar. "Ouji-sama, watashi..."
But Po-ar held up a hand.
He looked... trouble to say the least.
For the last few minutes, he had felt something amiss.
"Kitaria-san... you're not going to like this, but I THINK Herne is on the move. Mor and Kazu are in trouble."
He opened a portal. "Itachi, you're coming too. Fight for me."
Surprised, the assassin bowed. "Hai, Ouji-sama."
"Get in, Kitaria-san. We're going to the otherworld." there was a deadly glint in the Tarnb-jin's eyes.
One that said that whoever he ran into, was about to have hell to pay...

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Ainsu shouted, his ki flaring.
Arashi winced, pressing on the sword as hard as she could.
"HE IS JUST A BOY!"

Kitaria's eyes narrowed into slits. "Kazuhiko," she muttered.
----

"Kill the boy," Herne hissed. "He has already lived far too long."

"We take them all." Garren called a few of his shadow-walkers, and as they walked into the shade of the forests they all disappeared.
Once in the fortress, however, he made sure they were all firmly secure, starting to heal them of their wounds.
"We need answers. You can't handle soul-torture... But I would advise you to leave if you can't handle this Arashi." he warned. "We have no other choice."

"Ah, but he allowed it." Kaguyo pointed out. "He wouldn't give up immortality... and I'm who suffered for it. I'm not safe with him." she shook her head. "I doubt he understands me as well as he thinks, either." she muttered. "I care for him, but I do not love him the same as he loves me. I have no choice however. He'll always bring me back... That WAS Aled talking, mind you. I could always tell the difference."
That, and the dreams.
"He thinks he can imprison the wind." she scoffed softly, shaking her head. "No.. I think I'm better off belonging to no one."
